Abstract
For selection of a wireless access point, a terminal apparatus is configured to include a transmitter transmitting terminal information to a communication control apparatus, a receiver receiving access point candidate information from the communication control apparatus, a bandwidth estimator estimating current bandwidth associated with each of the candidate wireless access points included in the access point candidate information, and an access point selector selecting at least one wireless access point for communication from the candidate wireless access points included in the access point candidate information. Terminal information includes information on a communication location where the terminal apparatus communicates with the communication control apparatus and the access point candidate information includes information on candidate wireless access points for the communication location and past bandwidth information acquired associated with each of the candidate wireless access points. The wireless access point is selected based on past bandwidth information and estimated current bandwidth.
